PotentialCommunicationProblems
NetworksseparatedbyphysicalrouterswilloftenblockUDPbroadcastspreventingWinDiscoveryfromlocating
devicesonaremotenetwork.Undersuchcircumstances,WinDiscoverymustbeoperatedfromacomputerwithin
theremotenetworkorroutersseparatingthenetworksmustbeconfiguredtopassthrough(bothdirections)UDP
traffic(includingbroadcasts)on
ports6163,6263,6170,6171,6172,6173andmulticastaddresses224.0.1.254,
224.0.0.255.
PersonalcomputerfirewallapplicationsmayalsopreventWinDiscoveryfromoperatingcorrectly.Configurethe
firewalltoallowbi‐directionUDPtrafficonport6163ortemporarilydisablethefirewallwhileusingthe
WinDiscoveryapplication.ContactyourITdepartmentfor
